Renowned for his metaphysics, Spinoza made significant
contributions to understanding the human mind, the emotions, moral
philosophy, and political philosophy.
Beginning with an overview of Spinoza's life, Michael Della Rocca
carefully unpacks and explains Spinoza's philosophy: his
metaphysics of substance and argument at the center of his whole
system that God is the sole independent substance; his account of
the human mind and its relation to the body; his theory that human
beings tend towards self-preservation and his most famous work, the
Ethics, including the problem of free will; and his writings on the
state, religion and scripture.
Della Rocca concludes with a chapter on Spinoza's legacy and how
modern philosophers, Hume, Hegel, and Nietzsche, responded to
Spinoza's challenge. Ideal for those coming to Spinoza for the
first time as well as those already acquainted with his thought,
Spinoza is essential reading for anyone studying philosophy.
